Tax consulting

Nonprofit tax has unique complexities and ever-changing regulations. Our team works with nonprofits of all sizes, every day, all year long. We help you navigate the nuances, positioning you to make the best decisions for your organization.

Unrelated Business Income (UBI) tax

We help you distinguish tax-exempt revenue from UBI, protecting your tax-exempt status and informing your revenue decisions.

Conflict of interest reviews

Our team works with you to identify and avoid potential conflicts between your organization and your board.

Multi-entity planning

We advise on the risks and benefits of a multi-entity corporate structure, and help you decide if it’s right for your organization.

501(r) consulting

We work with tax-exempt hospitals in a mock audit setting to help ensure compliance with 501(r) regulations.

Alternative investments

We help you understand the impact of foreign activities and investments, including foreign reporting requirements.

Audit representation

We stand by you in the event of an IRS or state audit, guiding you through the process each step of the way.

Tax compliance

We know that compliance for tax-exempt organizations goes beyond filing a Form 990. Our nonprofit tax experts know the ins and outs of staying compliant with issues unique to you, including unrelated business income and foreign investments.

IRS Forms 990 and 990T

We don’t just “check the box” when it comes to filing your Form 990. We partner with you in using it as a strategic tool.

Unrelated Business Income (UBI) tax

We help you navigate the rules that distinguish tax-exempt revenue from UBI and help ensure that your reporting is accurate.

State and local tax returns

We know that UBI tax issues go beyond the federal level, and will prepare state and local tax filings when needed.

Foreign tax reporting

Our team understands the impact of alternative investments and will guide you through required reporting requirements.

Contract review

Our team will review royalty, affinity, and sponsorship contracts to help you comply with UBI rules.

Tax education

Our team goes beyond the tax and compliance work we do for your organization. We are here as your guides to help you, your management, and your board understand the details you need to know to make strategic financial decisions to enable your mission.

Management training

Our team is skilled at preparing clear and concise trainings for management and across the organization.

Board training

We educate boards on how to fulfill their fiduciary responsibility, and provide guidance on board governance.
